Kenny Jacobs, chief executive of daa, has also called on the Government to do more to prevent the impact of drones in Irish airspace.
NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT can control and take down drones will help to prevent flight disruption, according to the head of Dublin and Cork airports.
“We welcome the decision taken by the state to give us authority to operate a drone effector piece of technology that allows you to take control of and bring down a drone,” said Jacobs. “Then either send it back where it came from or just control it and bring it down in a controlled fashion.” “We have placed an order and I expect that we will be operational in a matter of weeks,” Jacobs said.
Jacobs has also called on the Government to do more to prevent the impact of drones in Irish airspace. CEO of Ryanair Eddie Wilson also expressed discontent at the extent of the disturbance drones were able to have on Irish air travel.
